it is hard because of the walnut outerplies. the intensity carbon is fast but your schlager carbon and possibly the v1 quad carbon is faster.

rosewood 7 is harder than yeo. its because of the wood and also the thick nct/laquer coating on the blade surface

What about these blades ? Who plays with stiga Intensity carbon ? Can anyone compare it with another carbon blade from other brand, or another famous blade like Clipper ?

actually even if there was a blade with the same construction as the intensity carbon they would have a different feel because the intensity carbon is kinda thin.

I love my Intensity NCT. I have not tried the carbon one yet, but I don't think I will need more power from carbon, if it means I will loose some of the feel with the all wood.
Yogi - what would you prefer between the two?

Does it vibrate because of it's so thin ? How is the power of the carbon intensity blade, comparing with another carbon blade ? Is it easy to play close the table or better far from the table ? There are not many returns about this blade... is it bad or does it suffer from lack of publicity ?

I played with the Intensity Carbon for a year or so before switching back to a slower blade. IMHO it has the best control and feel of all the very fast (Off-Off+) I tested. I actually wrote a test report about it in German: It does not vibrate but it has some flex when you really go for it which is why it generates tremendous power on strong shots. It plays quite controlled at the table; I would see it is slower and less bouncy in touch shots than Clipper.

Sorry, I don't speak Goethe's language... Isn't that strange you feel it's slower than Clipper whereas Stiga grade it to 124 for speed and only 102 for Clipper ?
And is the blade stiff enough on flat contacts, blocks, smashs ?

I kind of figured that but maybe you can use google translator to at least understand my basic impressions.
I do not really care about some numbers in a catalog. My impression was that the Intensity Carbon was slower on touch shots and the short game at the table than Clipper but it was faster when you really hit it hard. With other words, it has 2 more gears, a slower and a faster one. Yes, it is stiff enough to block and drive the ball which is why it worked pretty well for me with medium pips (Dr. N Diamant)on backhand.

Ok, I understand better now. It makes me feel about the Nittaku Barwell Fleet which also have an external walnut ply. It was really slow on little shots, really good for short game, receiving, and absorbing in passive blocks. But when you swing, the ball goes very fast. Unfortunately the Barwell fleet was not really fitting my backhand, I don't really know why. For the forehand it was tremendous. Perhaps my backhand topspin is too "short and quick" for that blade and my contact of the ball not hard enough.
For now I play with the Mizutani SuperZLC which is hugely powerful but also quite stiff. Sometimes I'd like more flexibility. I will try to translate with google your returns, although that's sometimes not easy to understand the translation... thank you for the link.

almost all stiga blades have vibration depending on the amount on every blade model. the intensity is a fast carbon blade despite the thinness of the blade. i would say its speed is more or less the level of a primorac carbon

Comparing Intensity carbon, TB ALC, Innerforce ZLC all 3 – 88gr. IMO: Speed: ZLC is fastest , other two is almost the same. Intensity has a little longer trajectory than ALC. I guess because of this NCT coating. Maybe without it I guess they will be same, but I don’t want to experiment for now. If I broke my ALC then I will do it Feedback: ZLC > Intensity > ALC Arc: ZLC > ALC > Intensity Control: ALC >= Intensity >> ZLC I test it with different rubbers, but I think the most I liked it with Genius Sound – EXTREME control with enough power, well combining characteristics. As mentioned Intensity is for play closer to the table, Intensity carbon – further. Hope I help you. |

I played with Intensity NCT a couple of years ago. A great light blade! Maybe I should give it a second try with the Airoc M.

I wonder if the new ones, which have little coating, play any difference. I have the older one, really like it, and planning to get another for back up.

Yeah it's really fast one but I think it's a really great balance between power and control in this blade.

after playing with Intensity Carbon i can say a few things(i was ranked as 500 in the mens world ranking few years ago)
It is a very well designed looping blade.Has long trajectory so suits playing away the table and easy to play near.You can perform very strong and very spinny loops all over. It has very good control and makes the receiving easy.. In blocking you have to adjust because it's kinda soft thought stiga claims it's stiff.. Using sp on the bh i was hiting the net all the time so this blade doesn't suit for pimplers!

The intensity carbon soft???Not at all.It has no feeling at all.If you mean flexible maybe it has some flex and it is not totally stiff.But you said "soft" and this goes to feeling.

malin87, I have played with the Intensity Carbon for quite some time and I do not agree that it has a soft feel due to its hard walnut outer plies. It may not be as hard and stiff as some other blades but it's certainly not soft. Do you mean "stiff" when you say "soft"? I do agree that it is not as stiff as some other carbon blades like Schlager or Primorac and it has some flex when you put power into the shot which is why it works great for looping. Maybe you should give it some more practice with your pips as it might just be a matter of adjusting the blade angle a little. It worked great for me with medium pips and also with anti. At the end I switched because it was too fast for me.
